Hello everyone,
I know there have been several threads in the past about this and they all seem to say the same thing. Something along the lines of, "oil temp wire runs along front of engine, up through the tins and plugs in to a connection near the oil cooler." I'm thinking I'm missing something totally obvious but I can't, for the life of me, find where the oil temp sensor plugs in. I've looked at these two wiring diagrams but they don't show anywhere for the oil temp sensor.

This damn thing is driving me mad. |

the TACO plate is a series of plates with a hole in the center and the sensor threads in at an angle. there is a cover too that keep the wind off the sensor. on the exposed end of the sensor there is a male connection. the female is on the wire that winds it's way to a green wire that is in the main harness and under the battery.
From there I guess it goes thru the tunnel and may stop there for attachment to a center console gauge in the center console gauge wire harness. I am working on getting the combo fuel / temp gauge working that goes in the dash, so I assume I will run a wire from there or from the one under the battery to the "G" terminal on the temp part of my gauge. Google VW TYPE 4TACO PLATE and look for pictures. Check some of my recent topics. I found a great picture I think Mark or McMark took.... I get them confused. I need to meet these people face to face. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
